<VV> Vair meets Fiat 500!

[Frank DuVal]

Author is completely off base!
Tucker wanted water cooling from the beginning of the design. The mule 
with the Tucker 6 cylinder engine (589 cu in) is in Alexandria, VA, and 
it is water cooled. When they knew that engine was not going to be ready 
for production use, they used Franklin air cooled engines, but heavily 
modified them in house including water cooling.

The 589 had two torque converters and NO transmission! Each converter 
drove one rear wheel.
